Billy Milligan 24-multiple personality -- subject of the recently-announced Leonardo DiCaprio feature film "The CrowdedRoom" (in pre-production) to be based on Daniel Keyes' book, The Minds of Billy Milligan (published in 1981.)
This is not a Billy Milligan interview but, instead, a cameo appearance by Milligan in the local dramatic TV series made in 1984 in Athens, Ohio.
In 1984, while being treated at the Athens OhioMental Hospital, Billy Milligan made a guest appearance in the controversial, 15-part local Athens Ohio "soap opera" entitled, "45701."
Milligan was given script approval and his two short scenes were taped secretly, late at night, in isolated locations, with minimal crew in order to avoid gawkers and onlookers.
NOTE: To save time, Billy had drawn and completed most of the portrait of Alan before the scene was taped. He worked from a publicity photo, sensibly replacing a cigarette in Alan's hand with a wine glass. Then, during the videotaping, he began the first strokes of a new sketch on a blank page of his drawing tablet and then switched to the almost-completed drawing to put in some final touches and to sign the finished piece. (Just part of the magic of movie-making.)
FOR CONTEXT -- IN THE STORYLINE the main character, Alan Starr, is "on the run" from the police and has been living out in the local countryside after having been falsely accused of kidnapping/murder.
This is why he is rushing in late at night to pick up his mail from his post office box and why he doesn't want to be spotted through the windows of the Post Office while talking to Billy.
NOTE: One reason the series was controversial is because it turned its characters loose in the real community while inviting public figures (such as the mayor, city council members, the Ohio University president, a local judge) to appear as themselves in the series. The series incorporated local events and news items into the storyline, but with a twist. So the public often became confused and angry with not quite knowing what was real and what wasn't.
The characters in the series thought they were real people. So Alan Starr always contended that 45701 was not a soap opera but a "documentary" about his life. (This is why he corrects Billy in the post office when Milligan refers to it as a soap opera.)
Because of Alan's problem with thinking he's a "real person" and believing the series is a "documentary" about him, an angry viewer wrote a letter to the editor of one of the local papers suggesting that perhaps the actor playing Alan Starr was suffering from something called CharacterTransferSyndrome.
This is what Alan wants to talk to Billy about. Late at night, in the city parking garage, Milligan sketches a portrait of Alan Starr while counseling him on his possible affliction with "Character Transfer Syndrome."
Milligan was affable, had a sense of humor, and was fun to work with.
In 1985, a 2-hour documentary about Milligan entitled, "Billy" was created.

Emmy award-winning film is a look into how people can develop multiple personalities. This is a look at the amazing capacity of the mind to survive abuse through the splitting off of personalities. Usually taking hold in childhood, Multiple Personality Disorder is thought of as many people's way of shutting out abuse and trauma from their formative years. During this film we get to see some people who suffer from the disorder, whilst exhibiting their various different personalities.

Billy Milligan

William Stanley Milligan (February 14, 1955 – December 12, 2014), known as Billy Milligan, was an American citizen who was the subject of a highly publicized court case in Ohio in the late 1970s. After having committed several felonies including armed robbery, he was arrested for three rapes on the campus of Ohio State University. In the course of preparing his defense, psychologists diagnosed Milligan with multiple personality disorder. His lawyers pleaded insanity, claiming that two of his alternate personalities committed the crimes without Milligan's being aware of it. He was the first person diagnosed with multiple personality disorder to raise such a defense, and the first acquitted of a major crime by this reason, instead spending a decade in mental hospitals. Milligan's life story was popularized by Daniel Keyes's award-winning non-fiction novelThe Minds of Billy Milligan (1981, available in fourteen languages).

Biography

Childhood

Milligan's mother, Dorothy Milligan, grew up in Ohio farm country, and lived in Circleville, with her husband, Nick Jonas. They divorced, and Dorothy eventually moved to the Miami, Florida area, where she worked as a singer. There she began living with Johnny Morrison, a Jewish comedian who was still married.

Dissociative identity disorder

Dissociative identity disorder (DID), previously known as multiple personality disorder (MPD), is a mental disorder on the dissociative spectrum characterized by the appearance of at least two distinct and relatively enduring identities or dissociated personality states that alternately control a person's behavior, accompanied by memory impairment for important information not explained by ordinary forgetfulness. These symptoms are not accounted for by substance abuse, seizures, other medical conditions, nor by imaginative play in children. Diagnosis is often difficult as there is considerable comorbidity with other mental disorders. Malingering should be considered if there is possible financial or forensic gain, as well as factitious disorder if help-seeking behavior is prominent.

DID is one of the most controversial psychiatric disorders, with no clear consensus on diagnostic criteria or treatment. Research on treatment efficacy has been concerned primarily with clinical approaches and case studies. Dissociative symptoms range from common lapses in attention, becoming distracted by something else, and daydreaming, to pathological dissociative disorders. No systematic, empirically supported definition of "dissociation" exists. It is not the same as schizophrenia.

William Stanley (football manager)

William Stanley was the first manager (secretary) of Coventry City F.C., then known as Singers FC, from 1883 to 1885. Although little is known of him he is now credited with being the true founder of the club, having organised a team made up of employees from the Singer bicycle factory in Coventry. As a player, Stanley was a centre-forward.

William Stanley (inventor)

William Ford Robinson Stanley (2 February 1829– 14 August 1909) was a British inventor with 78 patents filed in both the United Kingdom and the United States of America. He was an engineer who designed and made precision drawing and mathematical instruments, as well as surveying instruments and telescopes, manufactured by his company "William Ford Stanley and Co. Ltd."

Stanley was a skilled architect who designed and founded the UK's first Trades school, Stanley Technical Trades School (now Harris Academy South Norwood), as well as designing the Stanley Halls in South Norwood. Stanley designed and built his two homes. He was a noted philanthropist, who gave over £80,000 to education projects during the last 15 years of his life. When he died, most of his estate, valued at £59,000, was bequeathed to trade schools and students in south London, and one of his homes was used as a children's home after his death, in accordance with his will.

Billy Milligan 24-multiple personality -- subject of the recently-announced Leonardo DiCaprio feature film "The CrowdedRoom" (in pre-production) to be based on Daniel Keyes' book, The Minds of Billy Milligan (published in 1981.)
This is not a Billy Milligan interview but, instead, a cameo appearance by Milligan in the local dramatic TV series made in 1984 in Athens, Ohio.
In 1984, while being treated at the Athens OhioMental Hospital, Billy Milligan made a guest appearance in the controversial, 15-part local Athens Ohio "soap opera" entitled, "45701."
Milligan was given script approval and his two short scenes were taped secretly, late at night, in isolated locations, with minimal crew in order to avoid gawkers and onlookers.
NOTE: To save time, Billy had drawn and completed most of the portrait of Alan before the scene was taped. He worked from a publicity photo, sensibly replacing a cigarette in Alan's hand with a wine glass. Then, during the videotaping, he began the first strokes of a new sketch on a blank page of his drawing tablet and then switched to the almost-completed drawing to put in some final touches and to sign the finished piece. (Just part of the magic of movie-making.)
FOR CONTEXT -- IN THE STORYLINE the main character, Alan Starr, is "on the run" from the police and has been living out in the local countryside after having been falsely accused of kidnapping/murder.
This is why he is rushing in late at night to pick up his mail from his post office box and why he doesn't want to be spotted through the windows of the Post Office while talking to Billy.
NOTE: One reason the series was controversial is because it turned its characters loose in the real community while inviting public figures (such as the mayor, city council members, the Ohio University president, a local judge) to appear as themselves in the series. The series incorporated local events and news items into the storyline, but with a twist. So the public often became confused and angry with not quite knowing what was real and what wasn't.
The characters in the series thought they were real people. So Alan Starr always contended that 45701 was not a soap opera but a "documentary" about his life. (This is why he corrects Billy in the post office when Milligan refers to it as a soap opera.)
Because of Alan's problem with thinking he's a "real person" and believing the series is a "documentary" about him, an angry viewer wrote a letter to the editor of one of the local papers suggesting that perhaps the actor playing Alan Starr was suffering from something called CharacterTransferSyndrome.
This is what Alan wants to talk to Billy about. Late at night, in the city parking garage, Milligan sketches a portrait of Alan Starr while counseling him on his possible affliction with "Character Transfer Syndrome."
Milligan was affable, had a sense of humor, and was fun to work with.
In 1985, a 2-hour documentary about Milligan entitled, "Billy" was created.
